Automations Stopped Working

[ufgatorvet]

My automations on my watch stopped working. I have rebooted phone and watch, and deleted and recreated the automations.

These change my watch face based on criteria and they have worked flawlessly since earlier this year when I created them.

Anyone have the same problem still? Fixes??

Thanks for any replies and advice,

Just for some extra clarity: when you mention automations, you do mean Automations in Shortcuts app on iPhone? Or are these Shortcuts that are accessible/runnable from the Watch?

If Automations on phone, mine are working. That said, time based Automations sometimes do not run for me. Swipe-quit the Shortcuts app seems to clear things up.

If you run them from a shortcuts app directly from Watch Face - try re-adding them there. I had this issue few times and putting them back worked (in this case running from Apps > Shortcuts app was possible)

Yes, exactly. iPhone shortcuts, personal automation.

Swiped out of Shortcuts, still not starting.

This used to work consistently, now, just nothing since some previous update ....

Pretty frustrating when stuff breaks with updates.

Sorry to see that. As mentioned, working pretty much for me, so have not had to debug this big of a problem with these.

Maybe try uninstalling and re-installing Shortcuts (yeah, will lose the Automations, unfortunately, and will need to re-create those).

Nuclear option: wipe the phone and setup as new. My iPad had been wonky and a setup as new seems to cleared out whatever issues were going on behind the scenes.

This worked. Thanks so much!
